I would recommend replacing the Timing belt while you are in there, since you have to pull it off anyway. My timing belt needed replacement so I went ahead and ordered the water pump with it.

Tensioner is all I can think of.

thermostat, valve cover gasket maybe if you need, and maybe crank seal and other belts. I did the thermostat when I did mine and did the timing belt as well. Good luck, it is a little more work than say.....a D series honda. Its pretty straight forward though.

You may want the timing belt kit, it includes the tensioner and idler for the timing belt. You will need a new tensioner spring from Mazda as well which was about 8 bucks, IIRC. You also should get a new valve cover gasket and I needed new timing covers because my stockers had holes in them.
